I teach children with dyslexia and I know they can succeed. They learn in a diffferent way and may struggle but with the correct teaching and IEP they can overcome their barriers to learning. Tom is proof of the fact that no one needs to think that dyslexia hold you back. Many dyslexic children, like Tom, are visual learners and we only have to use the talents they have to help them access the curriculum.

Tom Peliereau's gift was not dyslexia, but the ability to see things in a different way. Many students with dyslexia are what we call Bright Right-Brained Learners -- they learn best when they see and experience information, they may be creative geniuses but they may have difficulty reading the way they are being taught.

Cheryl Cole is a guest on tonight's show and one wonders is there any chance it could be a Cowell-free zone. The 28-year-old singer had a dig at Cowell when Graham Norton recently asked her if she had 'kissed and made up' with him. "I wouldn't say I've kissed Simon - I tell you one thing he can kiss..." she told the Bandon man. Wow - expect similar jaw-dropping revelations i'm afraid when she calls around Master Ross' gaff.
